Made myself sad thinking about how much Jackie would’ve loved being “Uncle Jack” to Vesper’s kids. I think he would have thrived in the role and accepted it with pride. He’d give them both endless piggyback rides and let them ride on his shoulders. He’d cheerfully go along with all their games, playing whatever parts they give him (usually the bad guy) with typical, Jackie-like enthusiasm. He and Eli would bond over their shared love of books and when Eli’s old enough, Jackie would loan him his treasured, dog-eared copy of For Whom the Bell Tolls.
